If I cancel my RHB ATM card, can I still use RHB internet banking?

Am bank told me if I cancel my ATM card, I will not be able to use the internet banking, is this true?
*
I am still able to use Ambank internet banking after closing my savings account and cancelling my debit card but I have credit card with them.

But if want debit card, will charge RM 8
And if want Internet banking, must have debit card. (Except Affin bank which give virtual debit card)
*
There is no fee for the debit card if it is linked to the Basic Savings Account (BSA) with no annual fee.

CIMB Basic Saving Account w/o Fee (No annual fee!), but there is debit card fees & charges right??

which bank does not charge for its debit card?
*
All banks have Basic Savings Account (BSA) with no annual fee. You must specifically ask for the no fee option, otherwise they may open the 1 with annual fee for you. The debit card is free of charge and there is no annual fee if it is only linked to the fee-free BSA.

Bro I just open a saving account in CIMB with a debit card however was told there is annual fee of RM15. Where do you get the info?
*
When I opened my CIMB saving account, I mentioned I wanted to get a basic saving account.
Below is what I get:

CIMB Bank
Saving account
So far no annual fee for ATM/Debit card
Can use CIMBClick internet banking
Max 8 ATM withdrawals, 9th withdrawal will charge me RM 0.50
Max 6 OTC withdrawals, 7th withdrawal will charge RM me 5.00

I can only use total 14 withdrawals per months, if more than 14 withdrawals, I will need to pay RM 0.50 for each withdrawal transaction
from ATM, and pay RM 5.00 for each withdrawal transaction from OTC.

Please give it a try and let us know.
It depends on your luck or the mood of the staff serving you.

Last time when my friend tried, he was asked to take up additional banking product, i.e. unit trust, insurance, personal loan, etc, to justify the opening of the BSA.
This is because the bank earns close to nothing for maintaining a BSA.

I would do the same if I were you. Have a BSA myself at Citibank opened many years ago. No questions asked back then.

Unlike local banks, Citibank has its own license to hold/transact in USD. This results in better exchange rate and lower fee.
HSBC and SCB also have their own USD license but they are not as generous as Citi.

I compared the rates from Citibank against HSBC and SC.

Citibank: 4.04
MBB: 4.02
SC: 4.00
HSBC: 4.00
CIMB: 3.99

*Inward TT Buy rate as of 13/02/2019 morning.

The published rate from Citi is only indicative. From my experience, the real-time rate can be better (not always).

If you can receive ACH wire, the rate from Transferwise is even better. However, this is not workable if the transfer is from a brokerage account.

Nope. Basic savings does not charge annual fee for its debit card. I'm using it.

I have public bank and cimbbank. Both basic that don't charge annual fee

I thought that basic savings accounts offered by all banks in Malaysia should be denominated in MYR. So, is Citibank able to provide a basic savings account denominated in USD?

Thanks for the information. smile.gif

Or you can cancel the card after registration for online banking. But you cannot change phone number after that otherwise need to get another debit card as the changes can only be initiated via atm.

I think your best choice would be go SG and open a DBS multiplier account there. You can revived in USD from brokers straight away.

I went to open Citibank account today.
They said they only got 1 type of saving account.
It's the only account which min deposit of RM 250 with ATM/Debit card AF of RM 8.

The process took 2 hours plus and somebody mentioned that they're really hard sell you wealth management products to upgrade you to be Citi Priority member.
